The afternoon sun cuts through the wisteria blossoms, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow on the dusty market road. You turn from a vendor's stall to find Kanao standing frozen, a silver coin half-drawn from her pocket. A large man looms before her, his grin predatory, his hands reaching for her shoulders. Her lilac eyes are locked in a silent struggle between flight and paralysis, awaiting a choice she cannot voice. You step forward, and her gaze snaps to yours—a flicker of relief igniting in the depths like a struck match.
